Last updated: June 23, 2025 5 min read  What to Know: - Women runners played an integral role in creating the Nike Vomero 18. - The design team used a women's sample size to model the ideal fit and feel. - The shoe's high-stack design came about as a result of women runners’ emphasis on cushioning and comfort. - Both male and female athletes have praised the Vomero 18 for its comfort and versatility. [Shop Nike Vomero Shoes](https://www.nike.com/w/zoom-vomero-running-shoes-37v7jz7gee1zy7ok)  [](https://www.nike.com/w/zoom-vomero-running-shoes-37v7jz7gee1zy7ok) Tunde Oyeneyin, Nike Fitness Athlete Nike's Vomero 18 is not only the latest in an esteemed line of running shoes but also is a testament to the feedback process. When Nike set out to create the Vomero 18, they leaned into the insights from women runners. "We hear from women a lot that they're prioritizing cushioning and comfort,” said Ashley Campbell, Nike Product Line Manager. With female athletes as the guiding star, Nike placed the onus on maximum cushioning and comfort. ## "When it comes to an everyday trainer, I like something not too soft and not too heavy. That's Vomero." Keely Hodgkinson, 800m World Champion  [](https://www.nike.com/w/zoom-vomero-running-shoes-37v7jz7gee1zy7ok) Tunde Oyeneyin, Nike Fitness Athlete  [](https://www.nike.com/w/zoom-vomero-running-shoes-37v7jz7gee1zy7ok) Grant Fisher, 2x World Record Holder ## The Power of Evolution Since its launch, the Vomero 17 had received praise for its enhanced comfort and impact protection. So the question remained—how do you build off of such a highly regarded running shoe? For the Vomero 18, the innovation team developed a winning formula—cushioning, width and rocker geometry. Better cushioning comes from a higher stack height of 36mm in the forefoot and 46mm in the heel. The lightweight ZoomX foam teams up with the responsive ReactX foam underfoot to produce a special experience for runners. The design team also understood the importance of rocker geometry in terms of its ability to help runners save energy. Thanks to a smooth, rolling sensation, runners can more easily propel forward. The team’s focus on the curve points was also critical to ensuring the runner’s ability to strike a balance between propulsion and cushioning. ## "If you want to go big, the choice matters."

The Nike team leaned into this concept, integrating a generous width into the design to achieve stability and reduce the potential to feel wobbly. With the onus on cushioning, rocker geometry and stability, the team began constructing the first prototype using a women's sample size. "We really obsessed over the fit and feel for women," Campbell said.

While there, runners completed approximately two miles in both the Vomero 17 and the Vomero 18. The majority of the athletes preferred the Vomero 18. Part of the testing process in LA focused on the design. "We wanted to make sure we offered a range of colors that could appeal to everyone and give women the choices they’re looking for," Campbell noted.

"As a creative, being able to say that in the smallest way you have an effect on people’s lives is pretty cool," said Kevin Reyes, who led the design team. Growing up, he loved both sports and the arts, and footwear design allowed him to merge these passions. Spotting the bold colors on the feet of other athletes is an unbeatable feeling.
